Jack Butland

Jack Butland of Rangers was born in Bristol, England on 10 March 1993 (age 33).

Jack Butland, born on 10 March 1993 (age 33), is an English goalkeeper currently with Rangers. An imposing 6ft 5in (1.96m), he built his career on early senior exposure rather than waiting politely in the background.

The formative spell came at Cheltenham Town in 2011-12, where he made 24 league appearances. For a young goalkeeper, that sort of loan is often more useful than another year of training-ground praise, and it gave him a proper run of football at a stage when he needed games.

Butland later collected a League Cup winners’ medal elsewhere in his career before becoming a regular first-team figure at Rangers. His current market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt.

In 2025-26, he remains heavily involved for Rangers, with 38 league appearances, one Scottish Cup appearance, six Champions League qualifying appearances and eight in the Europa League – 53 appearances in all competitions. That is not a squad goalkeeper’s workload.

His career has been shaped by early loan football, a long spell through the English game, and a prominent role at Ibrox. He remains a regular goalkeeper for Rangers rather than a name drifting towards the margins.

Jack Butland was an ever-present Premiership starter for Rangers, making 38 appearances and 38 starts with one yellow card. He also played once in the Scottish Cup, six times in Champions League qualifying and eight times in the Europa League, so his workload was that of an undisputed number one rather than a rotation goalkeeper.

Butland's listed career path spans five clubs: Stoke City, Derby County, Crystal Palace, Manchester United and Rangers. The pattern points to a goalkeeper who moved from regular involvement earlier in his career into lower-usage spells, before Rangers gave him a clear route back to week-to-week football.

The transfer record is defined by loans and low-cost moves rather than escalating fees. Stoke City sent him to Derby County on loan, Crystal Palace later paid a listed £1 million fee, Manchester United took him on loan, and Rangers signed him from Palace on a free transfer in July 2023. The Rangers move reduced the financial risk but delivered a first-choice goalkeeper.
